"But how long is this going to last?" Ewen felt heartbroken watching him.
Steven shook his head and struggled to get up. His legs were severely burned, with bloodied whip marks covering his calves.
In order to prevent him from escaping, James had him stand on burning coals, took out all his nails, and even slashed his finger pads.

She could no longer remember him, but it did not matter as long as she was safe.
Steven resembled a wandering beggar, silently protecting Stephanie in his own way. However, he dared not go close to her, fearing that he might frighten her "Are you free tomorrow, Michael?" Stephanie asked.
Michael snapped, "How long are you going to keep up this act, Stephanie? Did you lose your memories? Do you think I'd believe in a vicious person like you just because you said you lost your memories?" Steven watched as the woman he cherished fell for someone else due to her memory loss and emotional emptiness. Yet, the woman he cared for so deeply was now coldly pushed away by someone else.

Steven's pen froze in his hand. With red-rimmed eyes, he stared intensely at the teenager.

He brought Simeon to GenSociety in order to prove that his was real and theory of reincarnation was real and that immortality was achievable. He wanted to garner their attention. However, the project was temporarily labeled as dubious as there were no other successful experiments.
But it didn't matter as Steven had already achieved his goal. Growdstar Group was founded by Simeon and him.
